Highschool of the Dead episodes 1-6
How much you like this blending of horror and high school romantic comedy/drama clichés will largely depend on how jaded (or not) you are about the Zombie Apocalypse genre. It certainly delivers on its promise of plentiful action, bloody violence, and fan service, though, and tells a remarkably good story so far.
Hellsing GN 10
This isn't the series firing on all undead cylinders; it's the series cleaning up its loose ends before closing shop.

Naruto Season 3 Box Set 1
Sasuke tries to depart the Hidden Leaf Village, and Naruto tries to stop him, leading to their long-awaited head-to-head in this regrouped rerelease of earlier boxed sets. While some parts are tedious and typical franchise and genre flaws are evident, this set has some of the first series' best content, too.

Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino BLURAY
The bad news is that the improvements in plotting and strong new characters are overshadowed by a more negative difference between the seasons: the 1st was slow, but the 2nd is boring. Il Teatrino's writing is sharp, but its direction is limp.

Soul Eater DVD Part 4
If something in the show interests you, chances are it's resolved here, and probably via an earth-shaking butt-kicking.

Alice the 101st GN 1
Well suited to its place in the Doki Doki imprint, which bolsters series intended as go-betweens from shoujo to boys' love, Alice 101st achieves the shoujo character-driven charm with an inkling of boys' love bait for the fans. If you enjoy coming-of-age stories told in parallel to honing a creative craft, then Alice the 101st could very well be a book for you.

Master of Martial Hearts DVD
A capable high school girl gets involved in an all-women underground fighting tournament to save a new friend in this five-episode OVA from ARMS. A kissing cousin of Ikki Tousen, the series is largely not worth watching unless dependence on nudity-laced fan service works for you.

Demon King Daimao Episodes 7-12 Streaming
Prior to this there was always a chance, however slim, that the series would somehow salvage itself. After episode seven alone, no such illusions remain.
Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox DVD 1
A youthful-looking high school student is the subject of warring amorous interests from fox and wolf yokai in this poor excuse for a Magical Girlfriend/Harem series. While it is distinctive for its girls' sexual aggressiveness and allusions to Japanese folklore, its early episodes are thoroughly outclassed by other series in its subgenre.

Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden GN 9
Reading at the best of times is like being transported to another world, and in that this manga succeeds spectacularly. And although the inevitable end is undeniably on the horizon, you will not ever want to leave Genbu's land.
